Yeah, same.
I had some excellent matches with wifi connections, and some bad ones with wired connections. The issue is when the connection is unstable (which happens more often on wifi), but that doesn't mean wifi is automatically bad.

I remember you from the DoA Xtreme community on GAF. Lol good to see ya.
This might be the first time I've ever played the fighting game beta and actually won a match, I know I'm fighting scrubs but it reminds me I was pretty good at this game back in "the day" surprised there's no replay of online matches or training mode between matches tho. I won 3 matches with diego but my tendonitis is already flaring up
A shame Hitomi's not in the beta. Ah well. Random disconnects still however there have been some really solid matches with netcode function above average. Stopped at D- rank but I think I've had my fill. Unless they do some patchwork during the beta, I'll be back to DoA5 to brush up on characters.
This has been the worst beta experience I've ever had, but it definitely made me excited for the game.
It obviously needs that delay.

Will pick it up since I won't be playing online with people and will have it at our events. Still, they really need to work on that online.
How is SSSS all that different from PPPP? I'm really not understanding your issue here.
A two week delay won't fix all that much. This build is a month old, and the decision to even have a beta was very last minute. I wouldn't equate this to the current build, and definitely not to what they'll be able to fix within the next two weeks (the game has to go gold about a month before release).
That said, many of the issues seem to stem from the netcode, which is hopefully worked on until the last minute and has likely changed quite a bit since this beta build was locked (a month ago).
Let this be a lesson. Always expect bad netcode. There is no pressure for them to address it properly.
Not only I'd the connection fucking poor all of the time but the fact you can't rematch people at all is awful.
Even when it tells me the connection is perfect it takes a full second for what I did to register.

I am STRUGGLING with this game right now. I loved DoA5 and admittedly I wasn't very good but I suck right now. It's frustrating.
Lol casualty of bad netcode.
If the game is unplayable as you say, then why should you buy it?
It's INSANE that they thought a beta was a good idea in the state this is in.
Yeah, certainly an incentive to wait to see if they fix it before purchasing. (Prob not)
Easy skip for me if DOA online has a draconian connection.
The framerate tends to dip more than a fighting game like this should but honestly the combat is so smooth compared to other fighting games I have played recently. I tried to play tekken 7 right after and it feels so slow and mechanic compared to DoA. And I like how they handled the special because it can be countered unlike in Tekken. However, the game is coming out in a month so some of the technical issues definitely need to be fixed before I would even consider buying it.
Well for what it's worth they sold me on the game. The feeling of the game is more important to me than the netcode and since it's a fighting game, all that stuff is will be addressed in patches. The game will evolve so I'm not too worried on that front.
AIso I must have gotten lucky or something cuz I played like 15 games and about 90% felt fine to me in terms of connection. I got like one disco and another one with crippling lag. But whatever, that's fighting games for you. They're made in Japan where the net infrastructure isn't total garbage like it is in the US. I've come to expect it. Fighting games are just too fast and precise.
I had like one game out of ~10 feel pretty good. The rest felt slow and clunky, with huge delays on input. I've seen this get compared to SoulCalibur VI online... I've played a decent amount of SCVI online, including the beta, and it has never been this bad in my experience. I swear I'm seeing some teleporting too, would honestly rather see the game pause if it can't keep up.
Hopped into LR to see if maybe I'm just really terrible at DOA, but offline in this game I can mash out simple combos with very little effort. I dont know wtf I'm doing, but it's responsive at least.

No point in being so mad you had to do so many posts one after another.
Nah, plenty of fighting games have great netcode. They don't get a pass. Especially when more people will be playing this in the west than Japan.
And I was more referring to the fact that I haven't been able to play more than three matches in a row without the game locking up. I just deleted the beta since it is literally unplayable for me between yaht and the netcode. As a first impression for the game, I can't see that going over well.
You can have faith in patches, I guess, but doa has had shit netcode for a long time. They don't get the benefit of the doubt from me. I'm pretty sure what we see is what we get.

Netcode does feel better than DOA5 but yeah it could be better. Delay based netcode will always be some level of terrible for the USA
Because the game comes out in a little more than a month. Because it only feels a little better than DoA5 even after they said they were focusing on netcode. Because the series has a history of shit netcode, so this being the first impression doesn't give much faith.
Nvm got it you cancel the transition wirth H of course lol. Of course I didn't think about the most obvious thing.
This is really dumb
Full Fatal Rush combo with no meter just the combo
Full Fatal Rush with meter automatically ends in Break Blow but Break Blow is 6S
How do you do Fatal Rush with meter without a Break Blow? You end the Fatal Rush combo with 4S..
what is 4S normally? Break Hold..
And now to do a Break Blow but not transition into the cinematic portion? its 6S H
Why not have a Full Fatal Rush combo with meter still just be the regular combo and if you want to end it in a Break Blow you do 6S at the end

I want to give feedback, where are the surveys, I have not seen any of these mentioned.
Finally got some time to put into the beta this morning.
The online definitely feels better than what I remember from DOA5 but something seems a little off from the few matches I've put in so far. I'll need a bit more time with it to really figure it out.
I'm really enjoying it though I wish I could play as the entire cast. Perhaps the SCVI beta spoiled me.

No for the first question.
For the second one, they could do it in the future (like they did with Nioh), but I doubt it at this point. They'd probably have announced it already otherwise.
Yeah, I understand the complaints (expected something smoother as well), but some people are really acting like this is a demo and will be the final product.
To be fair, while the game releases in one month and a half, they've delayed a bit the game which will allow for a smoother launch. The beta build is also one month old.
I doubt the netcode will improve much, but they really seem interested in feedback about the game, and given how this gen has been for fighting games improvements (SFV, T7, etc), I doubt they'll never patch anything past their usual balance updates.
That'd be good. At least the surveys will be open for a week after the beta ends.
Ah, too bad it's online only. Would love to try out all the new stuff. My first 4 matches were all super laggy. Still like what's there and probably buy day 1.
The Menu Theme is awesome.
Edit: Survey done.

If enough feedback comes they might actually delay it again and work 9n some solutions as well. I hope for another delay so more offline play testing can give more data to them.
If I recall correctly from DOA5, 5+ win streak puts you at bronze, 10+ at silver, 20+ at gold...until you lose the streak.
